From the producer

Unnamed Beriti smallholders grew the coffee. METAD Agricultural Development PLC processed it at Gedeb Beriti, a processing site rather than an individual farm.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia presents this as an aromatic washed lot from its long-running relationship with METAD.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This release traces a Yirgacheffe-region smallholder lot from Beriti through METAD’s Gedeb washing station without inventing individual growers.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Commerce fields structured

Recorded the archived 12 oz / 340 g release at $22 and retained sold-out status.

02
Processor relationship corrected

Connected the existing METAD Agricultural Development PLC producer record because the exact release identifies METAD as the Gedeb processor.

03
Station kept separate from farm

Left farm_id empty: Gedeb Beriti is documented as a processing site serving unnamed smallholders, not as the exact farm that grew the lot.

04
Seasonal profiles separated

Kept archived caramel and stone fruit as structured notes while documenting the later honey, orange and apricot catalog snapshot as a different seasonal profile.

What was added?

Structured $22 USD / 340 g commerce data and the existing METAD Agricultural Development PLC processor relationship.

What wasn't added?

No named individual grower, farm, cultivar, lot elevation, harvest, fermentation duration, drying method, conventional roast level or public sentiment score.

Why it matters

The coffee was grown by unnamed Beriti smallholders and processed by METAD at Gedeb. Distinguishing processor, washing site and farms prevents the station from being presented as the grower.

What you might taste

The archived roaster release recorded caramel and stone fruit. A later exact catalog lists honey, orange and apricot; the profiles are preserved as separate seasonal snapshots.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-01) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Beans with Beanie is retained as exact-product catalog evidence for identity, process, price, package and the later seasonal flavor snapshot. It reports no ratings or written reviews. Different Beriti crops, green-coffee lots and roaster-wide commentary were excluded from sentiment scoring.
